I love Ultron. This buff makes the deck relevant again, and this build goes super hard on winning with it. Super long post about what to do with each card in the deck as usually when i post this style of deck my dms get flooded with "hi lamby i cant win with the deck help" 🤪

Initial Hope and Pixie thoughts.
I have yet to try Hope Bounce but i will invest time in doing so, feels like it has potential.
Hope Evo - she is amazing in Evo. She solves the main problem the deck previously had, losing Limbo. With this build u too often get to play the turn
Best Thanos deck i've cooked up in awhile. Runs super smooth, I almost had 0 unplayable hands. Its also relatively easy to pick up if you've played some form of bounce/thanos before. Got an ez infinite in a couple of hours.

They used the Silky Smoove name in the official patch notes. Lets gooooo.

So you're telling me i can just play stats on curve, spend my energy, and still react later? Sera Simpler. SOLD.

Couldnt lose in Conquest for 4hours straight (a few more undocumented matches due to Untapped updating late). It was difficult to not win games. Mockingbird in Thanos is just so illegal. U dont even need to put in effort to make her almost free, just play cards.

BroodAbs likely overtakes Silky Smoove as the best deck in the game now. It is easier to play, more raw stats than the silk deck, and the core engine is only like 8 cards, so lots of room to tech. This list is how i prefer to play it.
- To me this was never a Surfer deck, felt
Why Blob is good:
- what matters most is your opponent doesnt know exactly how big Blob can get. At mid to high levels of play most turn 6 decisions are made based on precision calls as to whats your opponent's max output. With Blob, that number is very hard to define. Even with

- Lad is flex spot for sure, but we are leaning hard into
After testing for 2 days and tons of feedback from my community, long post for Caiera and Skaar early conclusions:
- Caiera is good in EvoSheNaut, deck naturally wants to protect its 1s and 6s. Having said that, shenaut is a very average and fair deck.
- Caiera is decent in
Lotsa tweeting today, but had to get this one out now. There's a real problem...im struggling to lose. This prints cubes like a monster. If you've played thanos lockjaw before this build won't be difficult to master at all, just a few mindset changes. Read below to print cubes😬!
Havok is good. A long one here, gotta read the whole thing, keep in mind the idea is "how to play a deck that runs an auto-win combo but is completely fine without drawing it"
It is 15% chance that u draw Havok + Viper by turn 2 (that is a huge % btw). I wanted to figure out if
Initial OTA thoughts:
Lockjaw: kinda bad in thanos now, sad. Zabu to make Lockjaw playable on 3 is cope, assembling 2 card combos in 18 card decks is not very reliable. The other major issue is also the card actually costing 4. Your 5 cost cards feel awkward to play on five now
Our most successful Alioth deck today. Wave into Gman into Alioth into Odin ggwpezpz. Specific card choice explanations as follows:
- Dino can get Shang'd but very often we need that one big tall unit to contest a lane. Could be Vision too
- Sandman was relatively pointless,

Silky Smoove + Elsa = a midrange monstrosity. Latest adaptation, this deck just wants to do one thing, never fall behind. Spend all your energy effeciently every turn, buff Angela, buff stuff with Elsa, move stuff to buff again.....u win before turn 6 so Alioth doesnt matter.
Elsa nuts. Bounce tier 1 I am very sure. This is my preferred list right now, you may notice theres a severe lack of tech cards. Played for 6 hours and the only tech card i really want in here is Mobius since Wave can be a problem, still trying to figure out whats the cut.
All
Speed run first infinity avatar of the month. Beat 3 x Mobius Wave, 1 x Mobius Sera, 1 x Loki, super free.

This is true cooking my pals. We are very favoured into the tech Surfer decks, Lamby deck building emphasizes a simple ideology, big stats wins games. On average we have more points than other Surfer decks.

For a new card, this card is complex as heck. So many interactions to learn. This is for now, the only list i am happy playing GM in.
Why GM in Bounce:

Basically arrived at the same conclusion as
@KMBestMS

The JuBlink is very real and I am so happy. Jubilee into Blink in this build is a crazy strong power swing. Psylocke is also a core part of this build as you run many 5s, similar to how old Thanos used to do it. Also Psylocke on 3 into Blink is at worse a Nocturne which is an
Here's a functional way to use Legion without trying to be too cute.
In Conquest u encounter a myriad of locations, playing a 5/8 is good, playing a 5/8 while u have agency to choose a favourable location for yourself (more often than not) is even better.
Doc Oc is great now,
Cooked 8 hours on stream to get to this build. Also finished the

grind with it. Singlehandedly the most difficult deck i've ever played in this game. Werewolf is beyond busted.
Low margin for error deck, generic advice would be to identify which gameplan u wanna go for early
Posted some decks a few days back but giving this one its own spotlight again cos as some of yall already know, i am a sandman enjoyer 😏.
Thanos being bad right now gives me room to enjoy this more. Also once again, buy Red Hulk. Card is very strong.
Post patch first impressions, Bounce still top tier. Once again with nerfs to a good archtype, some subtle changes to card choices and gameplay patterns and it works beautifully. Long key notes explanation below:
- Wasp shores up the Monkey energy nerf. Also dodges monger, 0/3

In the comments im attaching photos of memories from my journey through HS 😬
Finally found a shell im happy playing the Ronimus package in. 9-1 infinity conquest. Beat 3 Lokis along the way (its not favoured into Loki, but it holds its own). Pretty much just a good stats into Leech kinda deck.
- u often Maximus on 2 for curve and stats so if they snap u
A concept. Leech Leader but with new Sandman instead. Sandman isnt great in Ramp anymore as now u usually wanna play him only on turn 5 to isolate your opponent on turn 6.
Playing early stats allows u to go for Sandman on 5 into Leader/Red Hulk.
Latest Thanos cook. 12-0 in conquest currently. The hawkslide stuff and skrull are mainly just meta shoutouts (wins mirrors, other ongoing stuff), at its core I just wanted a "spend all your energy effeciently" deck.
The real point I wanna make here is to explore Beast + Stones
All we really needed was a Hulk:
- deck has huge power swings with lockjaw as we all know, now we are rewarded even with a lacklustre early game before playing lockjaw, as Hulk just grows
- Affliction mechanic is bait in here, outside of wasp they are too situational to be good
Guess we climb the hard way this season. Kinda just Loki'd my way up to infinite ezpz 😏. Also got to test a bunch of stuff.
Disclaimer, Silk list and Surfer list are still relatively unrefined. I wanna fit Wolf move stuff in the surfer but couldnt find the sweet spot yet for
Went 12-0 on stream including an Infinity border acquisition with Smoove Wave. Classic Silky Smoove game plan of stats into potential Wave + Doom finisher. Card choices and explanations as follow:
- Angela with no 1 cost card is still great, on average a 2 6 into a turn 5 wave.
10th border with the Bald Panther. Its the same ramp deck as before but now we have a 4/10 panther option.
Extra outs now to go electro 3, panther 4, zola 5 and either the usual odin 6, or abs man 6 (copying zola) to have more options. Could put a huge panther back into the
In 1 year of snapping i have never liked Discard, until now. Might be a little addicted to the deck its kinda strong.

Initial OTA findings
1. Shuri - nothing much still op card.

3. Forge - dont actually think this is strictly a nerf, more testing needed. Its
Picked up Bounce ard 24hrs ago. Ez 4 infinite tix. This build can beat everything, even Wave. Bounce's problem is it loses to bad locations really hard, so pick your fights carefully. Falcon is bait, it doesnt turn 1 energy into 0, too ineffecient. More pointers in the thread 😬
Head start to the season 😏. Also all your subs and donos are going into my

's deck, but we swapped Miles for Legion. Never missed him. Xbones goes hard its rare that u dont get to play him on 4, so much initiative packed into the early turns. A very strong way to run the Silk deck. Wave hasn't been necessary too.
Update on the Thanos situation, seems like most have had success with the deck. Today we did 11-0 in conquest on stream, losing the 12th game only after 4 hours (twitch chat saw the winning line btw, sometimes they smart 😏).

Some of u might've known i've been trying to make Ramp good again (deck is finally playable cos we have Ulti Electro whew 😛).

I cut Galactus for Lad cos it
My preferred way to run Loki after days of testing. Used this base list to sweep 3-0 in round 1 of the Johnson Cup. Dino is very good into the Loki counter decks (shadow king, wave stuff). Legion + Snowguard is the best toolbox pairing in the game right now, too much flexibility.
2nd one done. Inspired by the Woody Surfer deck that went 8-0 in last weekend's 2.5K tournament. I cut most of the tech for straight up point slam and stats. Try this one out its kinda fun. Main thing to get used to is just how Werewolf interacts with stuff like Kraven and
Something cool for yall. Lets get it out of the way first, this loses to a good Loki player (thats like most decks anyway). I've been playing this on stream here n there for almost 2 weeks and it just wins so many matchups. Simple concept deck, card explanations as follows:
You
A more successful ThanosJaw build than the previous one. Main points to note:
- Time Stone on 3 into a 5 cost is most impt play
- Wasp and then high cost card in lockjaw lane lets you stack alot of power
- Committing early to a lane in this build is fine, you have alot of buffs
Initial Nico Minoru thoughts and findings:
She's a great card as a supplement in decks that can afford her effect to sometimes not be used, perfect in Loki and Thanos where her situational-ness has low downside, as these decks already function well while constantly having cards
DISCLAIMER: I dont enjoy Sera tech decks, the "comeback from behind" playstyle is often too reactionary to succeed at high levels of play (which is why Sera tech hasn't really dominated the tournament meta). I do feel tho, that SK being 2 cost is very strong, very splashable now.
On Reveal: Remove midrange decks from the game.
Loki has that kinda effect. You can play the deck with more tech but this is my personal sweet spot.
Valentina is bae here. U dont need it but it does have "get out of jail randomly" potential.
Post OTA Forge decks:
- Patriot list is very winning. Lots of easy stats into easy Wave for the ggs game plan. (Yes, it can beat Silky Smoove)
- Deadpool scales well with new Forge. X23 might improve its winrate but for now I would say fun deck at best, not super competitive.
Why u are losing to Hela, and what u can do (sometimes).
Hela is the best deck right now because it is absurdly consistent. Which is scary, in the past Hela was kept at bay due to its extreme inconsistencies (Modok IW stuff was not great).
What Hela can do now:
- more
Final update for the night, godlike start to infinity avatar week. 20-0 in infinity matches (15-0 with Loki), 4 tix 4 upgraded avatars. Loki best deck. Latest stream VOD has some of the gameplay go check it out! 🙂
@MARVELSNAP
Slow and steady grind into Top 10. Standard Skaarnos has been reliable this whole time and a good tier 1 deck choice for ladder.
Meta thoughts:
Sera Tech is also another good tier 1 deck to climb with, however i do feel ppl are gradually getting better at solving that mu, slow
Advanced Snapping Tip, semi bluff/weakness snapping. (This has won me tournaments):

- Jeff on 2, they Crawler on 2 (they likely do not have a 2 cost)
